Targetable-action stationary pot-scrubbing machine

Abstract

A ultrastreamlined, adaptable, stationary pot-scrubbing machine comprising a motor positioned in any desirable location beneath a sink, a flexible shaft coupled with the motor, a positioning neck comprising an arched tube rotatably mounting a scrubbing member in a substantially vertical or downturned position for the scrubbing axis and internally housing the flexible shaft to couple with the scrubbing member, and a base supporting the positioning neck adjacent to the sink, whereby said stationary pot-scrubbing machine is adaptable to any sink, and permits pots and pans to be cleaned in an upright, unobstructed manner, visible to the user so particular food deposits can be targeted for scrubbing.

I claim: 
     
       1. A targetable action, stationary, pot scrubbing machine mounted on a common kitchen sink comprising: a scrubbing member comprising a round shape suitable for rotary scrubbing of cooking utensils;   a positioning neck comprised of rigid tubular material of a substantially arched shape rotatably mounting the scrubbing member above said kitchen sink in a suspended, stationary manner with a substantially downturned scrubbing axis suitable for maneuvering cooking utensils against said scrubbing member in an upright manner exposing the utensil surface, and also housing power transmission means;   a base supporting the positioning neck in a substantially vertical position adjacent to the sink;   a motor mounted in a predetermined location;   and power transmission means coupling said motor with said scrubbing member for transmitting rotary power to the scrubbing member;   whereby large cooking utensils can be held with both hands and freely maneuvered against the scrubbing member targeting particular food deposits in the line of sight of the user.   
     
     
       2. The targetable action, stationary, pot scrubbing machine of claim 1 wherein said motor comprises, a motor mounted beneath the sink in a predetermined location suitable for transmitting power through an aperture adjacent the sink,   whereby the motor is concealed and the surface structures of the pot scrubbing machine are reduced.   
     
     
       3. The targetable action, stationary, pot scrubbing machine of claim 1 wherein said base comprises, a permanent fixture mounted through an aperture adjacent the sink, suitable for mounting the positioning neck in an upright position.   
     
     
       4. The targetable action, stationary, pot scrubbing machine of claim 1 wherein said power transmission means comprises, a flexible shaft coupling the motor with the scrubbing member to cause rotation of the scrubbing member.   
     
     
       5. An ultra-streamlined, stationary, pot scrubbing machine mounted on a kitchen sink comprising: a motor mounted in a predetermined location beneath said sink:   a scrubbing member comprising a round shape suitable for rotary scrubbing of cooking utensils:   a positioning neck comprised of a rigid tubular structure of a predetermined degree of curvature along the length of the tubular structure and suitable for rotatable mounting the scrubbing member above the sink and for partially housing a flexible shaft;   a base supporting the positioning neck in a substantially vertical position adjacent to the sink;   said flexible drive shaft coupling the motor with the scrubbing member for transmitting rotary power to the scrubbing member;   whereby said positioning neck provides a nonobstructive, strong and aesthetic support for the scrubbing member, omitting unnecessary bulk, and permitting large utensils to be freely maneuvered against the scrubbing member using both hands.   
     
     
       6. The ultrastreamlined, stationary, pot scrubbing machine of claim 5 wherein said positioning neck comprises, a tubular structure comprising an arched shape suitable for rotatably mounting the scrubbing member above the sink in a stationary manner with a downturned scrubbing axis suitable for scrubbing cooking utensils in an upright position.   
     
     
       7. An adaptable, stationary, pot scrubbing machine comprising, a motor mounted in a desired location proximate to a kitchen sink;   a positioning neck of a rigid arch shaped tubular structure rotatably mounting a scrubbing member over the sink, and suitable for housing a flexible shaft; and   a base adjacent to the sink supporting the positioning neck; and   said flexible shaft coupling the motor with the scrubbing member to cause rotation of the scrubbing member.   
     
     
       8. The adaptable, stationary, pot scrubbing machine of claim 7 wherein said positioning neck mounts the scrubbing member in a downturned position suspended over the sink. 
     
     
       9. The adaptable, stationary, pot scrubbing machine of claim 7 wherein the motor comprises, a motor mounted beneath the sink in a predetermined location for transmitting power through an aperture adjacent the sink.   
     
     
       10. A method for adapting a flexible shaft machine to stationary scrubbing of pots and pans comprising, mounting a motor in a predetermined location relative to a kitchen sink;   constructing a positioning neck comprised of rigid tubular material of a substantially arched shape rotatably mounting the scrubbing member above said kitchen sink in a suspended, stationary manner with a substantially downturned scrubbing axis suitable for maneuvering cooking utensils against said scrubbing member in an upright manner exposing the utensil surface, and also housing power transmission means;   rotatably mounting a scrubbing member on said positioning neck comprising a round shape suitable for rotational scrubbing of cooking utensils;   mounting the positioning neck adjacent to the sink with structural means in a substantially upright position on the vertical aperture adjacent to the sink;   and coupling said motor with said scrubbing member with a flexible shaft for transmitting rotational power to the scrubbing member;   whereby the stationary pot scrubbing machine is adaptable to various configurations.
